Thanks Brett you're right it depends on where you are at and what your trying to achieve, you should obtain a basic bodyweight competency before you start throwing weights around, can you do deep single leg squats for 6 reps on each leg with perfect form, can you do 30/40 excellent push-ups, can you do 10 good form pull-ups, hold a plank for 2 minutes, supine hold for 2 minutes etc these are simple things but its amazing how many people struggle with their bodyweight.
Get these basics first whilst simultaneously learning to lift with light weights and its a good start.
Gymnastics might give you some basic co-ordination and bodyweight competency but in the grand scheme of things gymnastics make you better at gymnastics, not MMA. You need an MMA specific and an individualised programme to make the best gains for you
That make sense?
